250 GB SATA laptop drive

The Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD2500LPVT is a 250 GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 5400 RPM. It connects through a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface and includes an 8 MB cache. The drive is designed for daily computing workloads in notebooks and other compact systems. Its 6.8 mm z-height fits slim chassis designs.

Check SATA port and bay height

Verify that the host system provides a standard SATA data and power connection for a 2.5-inch drive. The unit measures 6.8 mm tall, 69.85 mm wide and 100.2 mm long, so the drive bay must accommodate those dimensions. Advanced Format sectors are used, so the operating system or cloning software should support 4 KB logical sectors. The drive ships as a bare unit without cables or brackets.

Low power and quiet operation

The drive is rated for low power consumption and runs ultra cool and quiet during typical use. A 5400 RPM spindle speed helps keep acoustic output and heat generation modest for everyday tasks. Advanced Format technology contributes to efficient data layout on the platters. No active cooling is required beyond normal chassis airflow.
